My organization method means nothing to anybody but me. I have several bins and plastic drawer units that everything is sorted into and I can find anything in seconds. But nobody else would ever understand my "logic" for what goes where; I sort by association rather than by a logical plan. Things that "go together" in my mind are together in drawers, but it probably would look random to anybody else!
Well, no, not entirely - some things are obvious; my solids are sorted by manufacturer ("Kona" and "Everything else") and then sub-sorted by color. Most of my metallics are together, except for a few that made more sense elsewhere. Batiks are also mostly together, with a few exceptions (and I can tell you exactly how many, where they are, and why they're in a different spot, but nobody but me would care!)
I used to organize my CD's this same way until I got married and my husband took over and imposed logic on everything. Now everything is by band, the by date and now I can't find ANYTHING! LOL Apparently I look for things the same way I organize them....by intuition. (Or "insanity" if you ask my spouse! LOL) I just somehow expect that things that 'go together' in my mind will be proximate to eachother in the real world. Makes sense to ME!
